Before SOBELOFF, Chief Judge, and HAYNSWORTH and BOREMAN, Circuit judges.
PER CURIAM.
For the reason that the plaintiffs utterly failed to cooperate with the union, as clearly showin in the opinion of the District Court, 171 F.Supp. 782, we think the union was neither unreasonable nor arbitrary in refusing to prosecute the grievances of the plaintiffs. Consequently, no right of action has accrued to them against the union or against their former employer.
Affirmed.
